12 Business Courses for Doulas & Other Birth Pros

Over the last five years there has been an explosion of business support for birth professionals. All doula training organizations now include business training. In addition, there are a bevy of stand-alone business training workshops and courses to choose from. I’ve compiled some of the best of the best into one list. Every one has a unique perspective. Some are totally self paced, some involve group or individual mentorship, some are in person workshops. Hopefully you can find one that fits your needs!

Bloom Business Solutions: Of course I would be remiss if I didn’t mention my own complete business courses Grow Your Doula Business and Grow Your Placenta Business. I also offer small group coaching programs on a semi annual basis, including Bloom SEO School and Double Your Doula Inquiries.

Center for the Childbearing Year: Patty Brennan has been coaching doulas in business for many years. She offers in person workshops, online courses, books and workbooks for building your business. http://center4cby.com/doula-business-development/

Heart Soul Business: Headed up by the lovely Jessica English (who has extensive experience running doula agencies) & Sarah Juliusson (who is a webdesign and SEO specialist). At this point in time they offer some in person workshops, 1 to 1 coaching and a free business support Facebook group. http://heartsoulbusiness.com/trainings/

Childbirth Professionals International: The only completely free doula business course that I could find, this is completely open to the public (no registration required). It’s mostly focused on setting up your business but there is some marketing information. http://thechildbirthprofession.com/savvy-doula-business/

Baby Planners Inc: Mostly directed towards baby planners but also useful for other birth professionals. They offer a self paced free business kickstart and a paid business mastery online course. https://babyplannerinc.mykajabi.com/
